Topic:
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Manned Aircraft - Learning to Share the Airspace
Date and Time:
Thursday, September 17, 2026, starting at 18:00 Eastern Daylight Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Bob Dilk, CFII
Brief Description:

Please welcome our host Bob Dilk, Certified Instrument Flight Instructor.

The use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) or 'Drones',  is expanding and beginning to replace traditional aircraft and helicopters for agricultural, survey, and package delivery. Their small size and high maneuverability can create an unique collision hazard with other aircraft. We will discuss what, where, and how these UAS operate and how the FAA designates airspace restrictions.

Additionally, the upcomng Part 108 UAS rules will provide for larger turbine powered UAS to operate in the national airspace that are presently receiving approvals for flight testing at many large airports. 

Special gratitude is expressed to Morristown Airport Authority, and EAA Chapter 1494, and speaker Bob Dilk.
